My wife is a Nurse. It's also to help the millions of health care professionals in the world working gruelling hours and horrible working conditions on wards full of dying patients. The number of health care professionals that have suffered severe stress and trauma, a shocking number of them to the point of suicide, is a horrible bloody stain on the hands of the people not taking these precautions seriously and thus aiding the propagation of this virus. I'm pretty sure the thousands of people dying daily in the US and UK where I am, and millions who have died globally aren't all in their 80s.
You cannot currently relocate to New Zealand as they have put all visa applications on hold due to the pandemic.
I believe Cisco had an unikernel running on Vmware for SDN vSwitches.
Makes sense: you "only" need to move packets from some vLan to another vLan/vNic after applying policies... and you can forget about supporting hardware modules alien to you.
Well, the problem with these factory $ value figures (and I wish reporters would dig a little deeper) is that it doesn't really correctly depict the impact to the local economy very well. Either in the construction phase or ongoing operations phase.

In some ways the construction is little different than building an office park or warehouse, modulo some very special installed equipment and ventilation / power systems. Most of that $xB capital invested is going to the companies that make the extremely sophisticated line equipment, and that is not local.

As for the operations phase, it might employ 1,000 people, optimistically?

Not saying it's not a benefit to the Arizona economy. And certainly the economic calculations for something like this are far better than the bullshit $ thrown around for a sport stadium or team, for example. Just saying that the $12-$38B figure is not what Arizonans will feel.
In Austria they made N95(FFP2) masks mandatory in closed public spaces so supermarkets sell them at 0.59$ a piece or give them for free with each purchase. At that price, they're not the best quality ones, but better than cloth or surgical ones and their shape makes it difficult for idiots to wear them underneath their noses.
I discovered BRIN indexes fairly recently. You trade odd a bit of speed (data & query dependant, of course), but potentially gain a huge amount of disk space vs B-Trees - the first time I created a BRIN index, I did a double take because I thought something must be wrong because the index was so small!
Is like to have a source for the statement that plug in hybrid never gets plugged in. Everyone I know who has one charges it over night and only runs it on petroleum occasionally.

I'm sorry, but is Hotmail not a large centralized player?
I don't understand enough about chip making but ASML seems to be an important part of the supply chain; it has a 80% market share over the litho machines it produces.
Your conclusion doesn't follow your premise. Whether it's still an apple is a question of categorisation and a human construct (1). But once it's established it is indeed an Apple you can count the number of such Apples.

Counting is real and the number you count is "true" because it leads to real predictions. This tale of magic bucket is enlightening. (2)

There is a beautiful json lib for F# called Thoth. Works on .NET and Fable.

Encode.object [
"blockId", Encode.guid data.Id
"blockName", Encode.string data.Name
"nestedType", Nested.Encode data.Nested
]

Decode.object (fun get ->
{ Block.Id = get.Required.Field "blockId" Decode.guid
Block.Name = get.Required.Field "blockName" Decode.string
Block.Nested = Nested.Decode get }
ASML only provides part of the chain to produce a chip, mostly focussed on the lithography step. There are a dozen steps in the production chain around it.
But that’s not what the GP comment is talking about, no? They’re specifically talking about self driving on highways. FSD beta works on city streets. On highways you’d use auto steer and traffic aware cruise control, which is exactly same as lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control in a Toyota.
And with a tri-fuel kit, you can run that generator on gasoline, propane, or natural gas depending on what's readily available. Even if the gas pumps are offline due to a power outage, you could hook up one of those prefilled propane cylinders that near every gas station seems to sell these days.
It doesn’t account for this, though:

To protect the data that is not covered by end-to-end encryption, Telegram uses a distributed infrastructure. Cloud chat data is stored in multiple data centers around the globe that are controlled by different legal entities spread across different jurisdictions. The relevant decryption keys are split into parts and are never kept in the same place as the data they protect. As a result, several court orders from different jurisdictions are required to force us to give up any data.

Thanks to this structure, we can ensure that no single government or block of like-minded countries can intrude on people's privacy and freedom of expression. Telegram can be forced to give up data only if an issue is grave and universal enough to pass the scrutiny of several different legal systems around the world.

To this day, we have disclosed 0 bytes of user data to third parties, including governments.

I would argue the opposite, that it is a huge deal for defense.

Imagine if the situation is missile defense, both the missile and the defense systems are computerized and not only the milliseconds but also the microseconds are the difference between a hit and a stopped missile. Whoever had the newest fab node would have a notable advantage in being able to push their system harder. It could be better ML in missile to lock on and dodge, vs the defense system predicting paths as fast as possible with as low latency as possible to defend a ship or similar asset.

Its asymmetric in the example of course, but both sides would be doing both shooting and defending.
I've been working on a 2D game which involves pixel art. I wanted a way to quickly look up a color by hex code or RGB values on the terminal, but could not find a tool for it. So I created Colorpedia. It displays colors, shades and palettes along with details on multiple models (HSV, HSL, CMYK etc). It also outputs JSON for programmatic access.
There are no naturally occurring fractals, because all natural things have a minimal feature size after which quantum mechanics makes them fuzzy.
I think this mostly affects small groups. If the group is just 5 people, then one individual can prevent it.

For bigger groups (eg. the parents groups of my kids school) nobody cares if one or two people don't want to move. Especially since there most likely were a few people who already opposed WhatsApp in the first place.

So before there were a few people who weren't part of the group because of WhatsApp, and now there might be a few different people who aren't part of the group because of Signal.

You just need to convince a majority that your choice is better, and the terms of service change along with the constant bad press of Facebook was enough to tip the scales for many many groups.
ah right, my work one also had the whining...

I didn't mind much but people next to me would notice in meetings.
Because building the next Facebook or Google is realistic?
Malware aside, these are beautiful! I would have killed for these when I was younger loving both papercraft and computers
Perhaps, but regularization is a better name for that term anyway.

How is loss descriptive? Ah yes, we're losing... something. Our lunch, maybe.

The neural network isn't playing a game, even though people like to phrase GANs that way. There's no "win" condition. Training just ends whenever you decide to end it.

Minimizing loss doesn't bring you closer to winning a game anyway. It's often the worst strategy in certain kinds of games.

Minimizing penalty, on the other hand, is perfectly clear. If you want the neural network to do something less, add a penalty term.
This is interesting to know, and your comment flipped a switch in my head - I'd like to know the organizational structure of a lot of companies out there. Is this information you acquired personally? Or is there a resource out there where you can refer to the structure of different companies?
Hi

I think your derogatory comments about Karparthy are ludicrous. Considering the scale of deployment, complexity of the application, and the life-and-death stakes, what he and his team have achieved so far is probably the greatest engineering achievement in the history of AI.

In my country, the government's "generous, all things considered" cost of operating a private car* is 45p per mile - which covers not just fuel, but also depreciation, insurance and suchlike.

Meanwhile, a 12-minute, 4 mile Uber journey would cost me £2.43/mile

Of course, the big unknown here is one of driver utilisation: How many miles does the driver drive to pick me up, and how many minutes are they waiting for the next ride to come in?

* Well, it was considered generous the last time I asked a car owner about it. I'm sure a Lamborghini costs more.
Well you have chosen an example that is little more than an API object in the first place.

class IdealGas implements EquationOfState {
private final double gamma;

public IdealGas(double gamma) {
this.gamma = gamma;
}

public double energyDensity(double pressure, double internalEnergy) {
return (1 + gamma) * pressure * internalEnergy;
}
}

Why create a separate type over this class which is just a projection of its data? You can just use a JSONObject as the API object. You are already going to need some special tricks to deal with the union with other EquationOfStates on top of some out of band type field to designate which class is to be used.

You will have the same sort of boiler plate in either case. Either a `public EquationOfStateData getEOSData()` or a `public JSONObject getJSON()`. In one case you use type safety and the deserializer provides your validation messages but should still do some custom validation on top to handle mismatched unions, in the other case you perform the type check (ordinarily done by using method like `json.getDouble()` and get to give custom messages.

Choose your poison, they really aren't all that different.
> Autocracies seem to be the most efficient form of governance.

I've wondered about this. Is there a way that democracy could compete, possibly by reflecting "the will of the people" quickly and accurately?

Or would that always fundamentally be a popularity contest?

Or will democracy require something akin to "martial law" to quickly decide and act on urgent matters?
I wonder why we ask this of mathematics and not, for example, physics.

We all kinda understand how real Physics is: the universe does weird things, we find rules and equations that fit these things. If planets go in circle (the Real - the Territory), we create orbital equations, Kepler's laws, etc (the Made up - the Map).

Isn't it the same with Math? In this universe, some fundamental rules seem to be obeyed: (at macro scale) objects tend to keep their delimitations, they add up and substract nicely, etc. So we make up words, language, equations to match.

Maybe it's just that the constructs Math tries to Map are more fundamental, harder to imagine a universe where they are different (a universe where 2+2 things makes 5 things)
And they make driving with the remainder of AP extremely unsafe in the EU sadly. For example they limit the angle of turn, meaning the cars cannot drive safely around a lot of non-highway road corners without drifting into oncoming lane (upon which the car brakes and beeps due to another feature called lane assist). Admittedly the car could slow down before the curve, but that would get you into trouble with cars from behind not expecting you to slow down for these kinds of curves.
> It is totally uneconomic to scrap a car only because one part broke.

When the battery replacement cost outvalues the cars price, it is uneconomical to repair.
The Chinese will try to replicate it for sure. Might take awhile though.
Thank you. Will reach out to you.
In fact, they provide an imap bridge for paid customers.
If you consider that the new car in Poland will be on the road for 10-15 years, it's still better to buy an electric car instead. They will exit coal soon, and in a few years the EV will be greener to operate.
ASML made a technological step after a decade-and-a-half of R&D. They invented and commercialized a new type of laser, which allows the EUV production process.

ASML is the reason the chips of the past two years have been making such performance gains, after multiple years of marginal improvements.
Actually your math is way off. I don't think it will take more than about 10 seconds per disc to process them if I get things set up right and everything is well organized and streamlined.

That's 6 per minute.
360 per hour.
800,000 should take about 2,222 hours.
I've got a bunch of people that will work for about $10/hour, and that's only $22,220 worth of labor over 277 days for 1 person.

But at least you could get a unified messenger for those services way back when.

The user experience these days is much, much worse, for almost no technical benefit (yay, audio messages, great…). Separate apps, (mostly) required to have a phone number to use them etc.
I like the idea of generating several CVs, the minimalist style very much, and also the the no-email-required policy (but see below).
Here are some points I see for improvement:

* There is no way to set the order in which publications appear in the CV, default ordering is a bit weird, so this must be customizable.

* Latex error messages could maybe be helpful when something goes wrong.. maybe it's some special character I input?

* It's nice that it's not tied to an email, but I am a bit reluctant to give money to a place where I could loose access any time. If something goes wrong on your side and you loose my credentials, how will I be able to re-identify? Also, how does this go with GDPR?

* Also in this vain.. are answers to secret questions hashed and salted? if they are, maybe this should be stated as the minimalist retro style suggests they are stored plain text.

* There are some standards out there that could make your life easier, and also help users interoperate better. I am not an expert, but there is the european CV xml schema[0], as well as the skills and occupations thesaurus[1]. Also, linkedin and such service GDPR::have to offer some export functionality.. it would be nice to be able to import these.

* Several national funding agencies have their own lousy CV creation tools, maybe it could be a businesses model to approach them and re-do it for them. Of course, they are interested in other things (e.g. application tracking, scienciometrics, etc), so just thinking out loud here.

* There are tools out there that keep track of your publications, and not all allow for bibtex exports. Maybe make crawlers for these? subcontract with the devil (e.g. access scopus)? or make import for the other formats people use for bibliographies (endnote, etc.)

* The approach is nice, so it might be a good idea to keep an eye on the pitfalls of other such ventures, namely:

* we are stuck with your style decisions regarding templates, we might not like them, they might run out of fashion, or in an attempt to mitigate this you will create millions of templates which are difficult to search for, hell to maintain, and most likely a growing nest of bugs (already my publications won't render with the "awesome" template).

* If you want to allow more customization, complexity in the UI will grow (and bugs), and at the end users will be frustrated and just download the data and write their own latex template (or move to another service).

* Malicious actors hosting stuff (allowing for uploads without email-verification / captchas) is, imho, playing with fire.

The best of lucks!

Of course it begs the question: if the keys are sorted, what do we need an index for? A simple halfing method would trivially do it then with btree like performance and infinitely better index size (0).

Maybe they may have made an improvement here trading some space for even better lookup times? In that case, the 83x space over btree indexes is certainly possible - given that infinite improvement is possible too.

I recently read the rebuttle to this layer of the Tether saga and it seems this has been addressed (to a degree).

Many of the other points are discussed in this rebuttle:

The more alternatives to Tether the better, so long as they compete towards realizing transparency where it matters.
even though I agree with you, The government has no business in saying who and how many people I invite to my home, or either who i meet in the Park. And here we are.
American gas prices are insanely low, and not really representative of the rest of the world. cries in 1.5€/litre (about 5.7€/gallon)

My EV consumes around 15kW/100km, which by cost is equivalent of around 2 litres per 100km (117MPG)
Another Signal jerking thread, spare me. At this point I am so sick of hearing about Signal that I will also insist people keep using WhatsApp. I'm not moving to something which is basically WhatsApp but this time with someone you can "definitely trust" because "reasons".
I absolutely agree!
I am just really struggling to put a time estimate on when the bill will come due for china. I think they can be in an upward trend for some more years as a technological follower. What I mean by that is that they use simple metrics of current technology (Ghz, GB, battery life, screen colors, electric car range and so in) and just “mandate” to get better in them. But all these things will eventually commoditise and if china wants to grow beyond that they have to come up with qualitative innovation. At least in my (very narrow) experience I have not seen much evidence for qualitative innovation in china. I think that is the point where their system (of this extreme obedient school system etc.) might start to struggle. I think the upper bound for that point would be a per capita gdp like south korea has (but probably much lower).

After that point (which might be in lets say 10-20 years) there can still be a veeery long downward slope (the soviet union lasted for 69 years).

I would be very interested in what other people think about this (and these timelines)
You might be right, I'm sure they have been studying them in the lab for years. But having already seen someone suffer from Bell's palsy as a direct result of the vaccine, I don't need that risk. Especially since people in my family who are genetically similar to me and of similar overall health have already contracted Covid and never got worse than a typical flu for any of them, and for several of them they never even got ill. Coupling that with the knowledge that for my age and demographic profile, I'm at no statistically significant risk, I choose to risk exposure to the virus without the mRNA vaccine. That's how it has to be.
>>KYC processes are, essentially, the law

They do not apply to all financial interactions. Fortunately they have not yet passed KYC laws that apply to many types of peer-to-peer financial activity, as the ones in force were designed for an era where electronic transactions were only intermediated by large trusted third parties, and largely exempt direct p2p transactions.

So this sudden opportunity to legally engage in financial interactions without the encumberance of 40 years of accumulated AML/KYC laws that has arrived with the emergence of decentralized finance offers the opportunity to reverse the trend toward governments, at the behest of international organizations like the FATF, increasingly resorting to the warrantless dragnet surveillance of finance approach to combating crime, i.e. Total Information Awareness applied to private financial interactions.

Similar to how the internet forced governments to back off on censorship laws, cryptocurrency has the potential to force the political class to rethink current financial crime laws and liberalize people's access to money. It has the potential to lead to criminal laws being limited to those that respect traditional due process and privacy rights, and the principles of freedom of association and presumption of innocence that free societies depend on.
And I hope they never support it, otherwise it will become even slower than it is now.

Ask HN: We Cannot Seem to Be Able to Release
I've been working in a startup for the past 2 years working on a SaaS product.

I would say we have reached a good milestone in our product. however the project consists of multiple parts that each seems to be "could be enhanced" all the time, we haven't reached 99% of our target MVP, but... I mean sure, what newly released product is expected to have a complete set of features, or isn't expected to have some sort of faults?

so, the question really is, what do you suggest could be done to stop this eternal refactoring / enhancing problem?
It's not penalty or step size. It's loss as in amount of information lossd (not encoded in your network) compared to one perfectly encoding ground truth.
Learning rate, as in what is the maximum amount of delta you are allowed to change your inputs to minimise your information loss analogous to how quickly you can possibly learn in one experiment.
One way I have got doubters to move a bit is to simply say "You don't have to use it, just install it on your phone and enable it - that way you aren't forcing people to use Facebook who don't want to".

I got quite a few people to put it on their phone using that line.
Thanks! Will take a look at it.
